    Hi there,

    I have used this plugin many times before with great success, however on this occasion it seems to be exporting blank or empty .xml files? Do you know whythis might be happening?

    TIA

    Happened to me as well. I found the issue.

    Technical part:
    It has something to do with the generated query. Sometimes the returned ID is “NULL” instead of the ID itself, I don’t know why it returns NULL, haven’t checked that out yet, but anyways, it results in a faulty query, e.g.: SELECT * FROM WP_POSTS WHERE ID IN (500,100,,400). Notice the double commas. That’s incorrect SQL and crashes the export script.

    (Quick) Fix:
    Add the following code to the ‘export-media-with-selected-content/export-media-with-content.php‘ file at line number 175:
    $ids = array_filter( $ids );

    This makes sure all empty values are filtered out of the $ids array.

    Hi @newcastlecreativeco and @donnyoexman

    Sorry for the late reply and Donny: thanks for you fix.

    I’ve just updated the plugin and tested for WP5.8, will publish it soon.
